Protocol - This term has several meanings.

Step 1
Now the concept of "protocol" is understood as a record made in a certain form, which contains data about events that have occurred or are currently taking place, set out in a stacked order and in accordance with the facts.
Step 2
In information technology, a network protocol is a standard that describes the rules for the relationship of blocks in the process of data transmission. A data transfer protocol is all the logic-level interface conventions that govern the exchange of data between different communicating programs. These agreements create a unified way for the transmission of messages when the software interacts with the equipment connected by any interface. The data transfer protocol makes it possible to develop an interface at the physical level that would not be associated with specific equipment and manufacturer.
Step 3
In medicine, a diagnosis and treatment protocol defines a detailed plan for treating a specific disease. The protocol defines diagnostic, therapeutic, restorative measures and a strict procedure for dealing with various urgent situations that arise in severe forms of a disease.
Step 4
In diplomacy, the protocol is defined as a community of generally accepted traditions, conventions that must be observed by the governments of countries, diplomatic missions, all officials in the format of international relations.
The cryptographic protocol is based on a cryptographic algorithm. Its purpose is to keep certain data secret from outsiders, to prevent fraud and disclosure of information.
Step 5
All protocols have other distinctive characteristics. So, all participants in the protocol must know in advance everything that they have to do, they must follow the rules without coercion. The protocol must be unambiguous and not allow for the possibility of misinterpretation. It is unacceptable that any actions or situations during the implementation of the protocol would not be noted in it.
